It's worth experimenting. I use a couple of do not track lists including EasyPrivacy and Stop Google Tracking. It only eliminates the ads that try to track. I'd say it gets rid of about 50% of the ads which is fine, because I'm not trying to get rid of ads. I'm just stopping the ones that are doing things they shouldn't.
Like you I have a limited set of sites. I use IE for browsing them. When I have to go to unknowns or questionable sites I use Aviator. InPrivate browsing is good, but I like the visibility that Aviator provides. It does a better job of blocking things too.

I'm with tgrt on this, IE is fairly stable, it's the plugins that generally mess things up.
And honestly, if a site needs java, they don't need my business.

I concur. But we all know that many of these ads lead to other ads and on and on. The only issue I have is that IE still *feels* single threaded. If there is a problem in one tab, it hangs the others.
I'll have to look into aviator and checking my plugins. I'm usually death on plugins.

We tell IE using customers who don't know better that we put the FireFox browser on their computer as we hand back their PC to them, "Friends don't let friends use IE". To wit they generally will ask "What's a browser?" ............

If you did something like that to one of my computers, you'd lose a customer.

I actually prefer IE11 to Chrome, FF, and previous versions of IE. From the development side, supporting the bastard through the rapid-fire releases since 7 has been a major headache.  At least 70% of my clients still use IE in one flavor or another as their default browser.
I wonder if it might not be a case of outdated code for some websites causing them to hang? One thing I am seeing more and more of is the ads, images, and videos that take so long to load...in any browser.

Once I volunteered in a safe-house for old people. Some of them was so old, that they lost any connection with the real life around...They vegetated the most...
In the last 3 days my office seems to be similar - no connection to real life around...

Does that mean you don't hear anyone else or don't hear anything intelligent?
Sorry haven't had my coffee yet so my intelligence is on hold.

Perhaps it is you that is "one off" and everyone else is in-tune with reality.
I recommend playing a game of tetris [^]and if you get above level level 7 you are sane and every one else is off their nut(a sanity check if you will).

According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Could be that you are right. I'm an old man and my memory isn't what it used to be... 
Anyway: If he was on first, he sure ought to be on second by now...
